6 comments to “Lindsay Lohan Is Freaked Out By Little People?!”

The tabloid says the actress “may be working to stay sober — but it’s not just drugs and alcohol she’s steering clear of.”

“She has achondroplasiaphobia,” a so-called “source” tells the magazine, meaning the actress supposedly has a “fear of little people.”

The “insider” explains, “In 2006, at the Chateau Marmont, she was with pals when two little people walked by and she started having a major anxiety attack! She hyperventilated. Someone had to give her an anti-anxiety pill to calm her down. She kept saying, ‘I’m so scared of them!’”

Wait.

The only “evidence” the magazine can come up with for this ridiculous allegation is a single anecdote from seven years ago?

That’s pathetic.

If you’re going to make up something this absurd, at least get an “insider” who’s been with Lohan sometime this past half-decade.

In any case, a source close to the actress tells Gossip Cop the Life & Style report is ludicrous and false.

Re: overthere – Sorry. Correction: When all else fails, dwell on the past…OR make something up. Haha These people have nothing better to do, than write rumors or what have you about celebrities. What a career.

Fear of little people is an existing phobia. There is no recognized term meaning fear of small people, dwarfs, or midgets. However, two have been proposed:
– achondroplasiphobia - referencing the genetic disparity of bodily proportions
– nanosophobia - from the Greek word for dwarf, nanos/nannos

Get off your high horse. I never thought I'd be defending Lindsay Lohan but having a fear against little people is a legitimate fear and it is called Achondroplasiaphobia. There's absolutely no reason to be afraid of water, or spiders or going outside, yet, all of those are also legitimate phobias and you aren't giving those people shit for their fears!
